grain discoloration caused by fungi agents, in crop season that the mature grain stage coincides with rain, it causes many damages. in this research effect of paddy discoloration of three varieties (hashemi, gohar and khazar) and disease index in two levels (high and low disease index levels) on grain apparent quality, milling properties and grain bending strength was investigated in a factoria...

the harary index h can be viewed as a molecular structure descriptor composed of increments representing interactions between pairs of atoms, such that their magnitude decreases with the increasing distance between the respective two atoms. a generalization of the harary index, denoted by hk, is achieved by employing the steiner-type distance between k-tuples of atoms. we show that the linear c...

the electric quadrupole, hexadecapole moments, energy (kjmol -1) for some armchair polyhex carbon nanotubes tuvc6[2p,q] are performed by beck-lee-yang-parr [b3lyp] on 3-21g basis set using the standard procedure indices gaussian 98, then the padmakar-ivan (pi) index of tuvc6[2p,q] nanotubes in the terms of their circumference (2p) and lengh (q) is calculated and the relationships between the pa...

Background — Health anexity affects the doctor–patient relationship and also causes unnecessary further procedures. Therefore, early diagnosis of it with a valid instrument is very important. Objectives — The aim of this study was to evaluate psychometric properties of the Persian version of 14-item Whiteley Index. Material and Methods — This research was a cross sectional study carried out in ...

We theoretically investigate the possibility of using a metamaterial structure as a spacer, named as metaspacer, which can be integrated with other materials in microfabrication. We show that such metaspacers can provide new optical behaviors that are not possible through conventional spacers. In particular, we investigate negative index metaspacers embedded in fishnet metamaterial structures a...

Permeability is a very important engineering property of soils and finds utility in a number of soil engineering problems such as yield of wells and seepage through and below the earth structures. It controls the hydraulic stability of soil masses. The permeability of soils is also required in the design of filters required to prevent piping in hydraulic structures. However, the determination o...

This is a review of the Health Utilities Index (HUI) multi-attribute health-status classification systems, and single- and multi-attribute utility scoring systems. HUI refers to both HUI Mark 2 (HUI2) and HUI Mark 3 (HUI3) instruments. The classification systems provide compact but comprehensive frameworks within which to describe health status. The multi-attribute utility functions provide all...
